So........ you may have seen a post I made a few weeks about re: getting a medical as an above knee amputee.
I'm pleased to say that with good advice, thanks to this forum, being the wrong side of 50 made this more challenging than being an amputee and I now have the medical and have proceeded with training in a diesel PA28 out of Old Sarum (walking distance from my house). I did 30+ hours a little over 20 years ago and was pleased to find that some of it had not been lost
I have now gone ahead and purchased a RV9A - having been a failed RV7 builder 20 years ago when the size of the task I had taken on clashed with both work and having a baby...
I'm planning on documenting my experience here for anyone who may find it useful, be curious or need a laugh from time to time
So G-CFMC is being deliver to Compton Abbas this Friday, weather permitting, and I have an RV experienced RV builder/CFI who has remarkably agreed to help a one legged student achieve his PPL......
Wish me luck!
